Summary "Common Diseases of Farm Animals" by Robert Alexander Craig is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a practical guide and reference for agricultural students and stockmen, discussing various diseases affecting farm animals with an emphasis on prevention rather than treatment. It covers a wide range of diseases and includes instructional material aimed at fostering better animal husbandry practices. The beginning of the work sets the stage by explaining the foundational concepts of disease in animals, including definitions, classifications, and causes. Craig introduces the importance of understanding the normal physiological state of animals to identify deviations that characterize illness. He categorizes diseases into non-specific, specific, and parasitic types, and emphasizes the need for preventive care tailored to the specific needs of different species, as well as the role of environmental factors in disease susceptibility. The opening establishes a comprehensive approach to animal health, hinting at a methodical exploration of the diseases and conditions that will follow in the chapters ahead.
